2018 model year Ninja ZX-10RR revealed

As the base for Jonathan Rea's 2017 World Superbike-winning machine, which last weekend claimed an unprecedented back-to-back third World Superbike title, the Ninja ZX-10RR is a formidable package.

From its race preparation-ready cylinder head and performance focused single seat to its lightweight specially forged Marchesini wheels plus KQS quickshifter, the Ninja ZX-10RR was quickly adopted by race teams and committed track day enthusiasts from across the globe after its 2017 launch.

The 2018 model Ninja ZX-10RR features two updates for the coming season, both of which involve colour changes to components: the reservoir canisters behind the lower part of the front fork legs change from a red appearance to silver and at the top of the fork leg, the fork top cap is now green where it was previously also red.

Morihiro Ikoma, Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, said:

“In the hands of our KRT riders, Jonathan Rea and Tom Sykes, the Ninja ZX-10RR has achieved Superpole wins, fastest laps, race wins and, ultimately, the 2017 World SBK title in its first year of production.
